I really doubt Nynaeve strength channelers are one in thousand...

I think the strength levels work in powers of ten...
- 1 in 10 - Moiraine strength
- 1 in 100 - Egwene strength
- 1 in 1000 - Nynaeve strength
- 1 in 10 000 - Graendal strength
- 1 in 100 000 - Lanfear strength
Nor do I think it makes sense that there's such a vast difference in numbers from Lanfear to Graendal.
While Lanfear strength women are surely rarer than Graendal strength women, they cannot be that much rarer given the bell curve distribution. As we move towards the upper echelons (and the lower) the curve is getting flatter, and closer to zero.
Its more likely one in 100,000 for Lanfear, 1 in 95,000 for Grandal and 1 in 90,000 for Nynaeve (assuming the old list is still true).
Is Nynaeve of "very rare" strength?

Actually, you are adding a word that isn't there.

IMO, it's self evident that the female list only contains named characters

IMO, the above post by "Logain" is trolling and not worth the debating!! *NM*

I find it unlikely that a super strong channeler would end up being unimportant to the plot *NM*

So, in terms of Nynaeve's power, do you think she is VERY rare? *NM*

Yes. She is so rare that she is mythic. A foiled Nynaeve can prolly fetch $100.

Don't forget Therava. She's stronger than any woman in the tower according to Galina.

Fionwe1987 is right. We do have a large enough sample. And the linking examples are good. *NM*
